Exactly. I personally know 3 different people who have multiple side projects where they record, mix, and produce amazing music, from their homes. It's much harder to stand out when so many people have great music.

I don't think that any of the Tesla owners really thought their cutting-edge cars would be worry free. They have the same expectations as someone who uses beta software, and in exchange they get to experience an amazing car. Also don&#

That's not a true story [1], although you're not the first person I've heard it from. The sex industry was thriving well before the US government, or any other government around today, however. And it would be very hard to ar

I feel like you put some pre-concieved notion on both the topic and animals. The article talks about tracking animals so we can better provide protection for them and their habitats (which will also provide loads of benefit to humans, as we

Great example. An industry that has historically preyed on the unfortunate.

What I find hilarious (and a little soul-sucking for the politicians), is that the money that they raise from taxpayers is used...to convince taxpayers to elect them, so they can raise money from taxpayers...ad nauseam

Depending on what the peanut is, it's probably not good for anyone (including the population at large) for it to be that way. That's why our laws and judicial system should protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority.

And how do you install extensions for GVim?

> The sole concept of IDEs specialized for one language makes me cringe. Can you explain this a bit? I don't see that Sublime, VS Code, Atom, etc. were made for one language, at all. As a little background, I've used vim for a

And yet, people in these comments are still clinging to it. Internet memes are the new afterlife.

Anyone can learn when they have a cold, and what to do about it. In the same way, anyone can learn to write a simple program. Not everyone has the dedication and skill to become a great MD, and the same applies to being a programmer.

You know that phone numbers are largely recycled, right? So, if you change your number often, you're getting someone else's number, meaning your number is already online.

Theoretically, if you uncheck the "enhance my request" option, they won't go through your contacts.

Also, I wish they would make adding invites to your calendar consistently work before making some other products. If your a calendar app, you need to work well at being a damn calendar, and then do other stuff.

Also, to be as effective as Google Calendar, you'd have to end up integrating it with as many external sources as Google Calendar, decreasing any privacy you might have gained by making your own product.

Yeah, but isn't it super annoying to people who want to contact you (family, friends, etc.)? I haven't changed my cell number in over a decade, and rarely (if ever) get spam calls (never texts). Seems like a high price to pay for

Isn't that what they're trying to do?

Doesn't seem like they fought in the same ways, as underhandedly, when they were actually paying 90%.

I get part of the "creep" factor, but anyone walking down the street has a much higher resolution image of your house - and with real-time "video", to boot! Maybe people just don't think about that very often?

I'm not sure that's a bad problem, as long as your OS (and your browser) reallocate memory efficiently when required. There's no need to treat RAM like your hard drive, and keep a certain amount free all of the time. Also, yo

While this is cool, it only seems to be for images, which makes the title seem a little misleading (images and links). https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/6329826?p=save_i...

I'm really excited about some of these updates. Playlists were kind of useless without the ability to save them, and I'm looking forward to playing around with the new plugin model.

They can, yes. But the instability of wages is a bigger issue. You can do amazing one day, and horrible the next. Combined with the fact that we teach next to nothing about financial planning in the US, and the extreme reliance on consumer

This is the real answer. The minimum wage is only an issue because so many companies rely on it to bolster their business model.

The problem with arguing against this from an Econ 101 perspective is that Econ 101 has all of these artificial perspectives to make it easier to understand, like holding everything constant except one variable. Actual examples of raising

But that hasn't actually happened, in the US, for instance.

Oil rig workers do not make the minimum wage, at all. Neither do most refinery workers. I say this as someone who knows several people who work on oil rigs off the Louisiana coast, and have worked with (but not at) several petrochemical com
